Quick tip and a question....

Question first.....Ive just been looking though my bank statements online and have found, what i think are, all the charges that i can reclaim.

The bit im confused about is whether i can reclaim them or not, they are listed as 'Total charges' (which im pretty sure i can claim) and also 'Charges'. Can i claim both?




A little tip to help find these charges, use the search function in your browser when viewing them online. I missed 3 - 4 when scanning through them myself, but when i opened them up and used these search functions i found a few more!

For example, in Internet Explorer - Edit -> Find or Ctrl+F and then type in 'charges'

Just thought i'd post this as it helped me find another £60 worth of charges (well i hope theyre charges!)...
Slowly reducing my 8.5k of debt!

  • The only charges that you cannot claim for are 'account management' charges - the type where you pay, for example, £10 per month and you receive benefits like cheap insurance cover etc.

    All other charges should be reclaimed.

    Just make sure you are not duplicating any.

    I've been confused about 'charges' and 'total charges' in the same month too - they don't bear any resemblance to each other (HSBC). Couldn't possibly be the banks trying to pull a fast one, could it...!!!!!
  • add both.

    The charges are seperate charges, add them up and get them back!
